As part of our plants and insects topic, Room 17 went on a class trip to the Botanic Gardens. We spent time looking at all the different plant species in the amazing gardens and then had a workshop all about pollination. It was a fantastic day!
It was a lovely day to be in the gardens - watch out Joshua, that water looks cold. |
Our favourite garden - The Potters Children's Garden. |
Learning about the life cycle of the kowhai tree. |
We put on our scientist hats and observed the followers closely. We saw stamen, stigma and pollen. |
We dissected flowers to look at all the parts. These are now in our class to help us remember. |
Harris, Hemi and Teio pretended to be flowers to help show us how bee pollinate. |
To end the workshop we all planted sweet pea flowers and took them home to grow. |
